Testimonials for Quontic Bank

"When Chris contacted me after my inquiry about doing a reverse mortgage, I was apprehensive about talking to a complete stranger and wondering if I was doing the right thing by giving him such personal information. But as we went through the process and talking with Chris, he was so pleasant to talk to and he took the time to hear about my situation and walk me through the process. He was processional and courteous and truly seemed to care about my needs. In this day and age when everyone is just an email address to someone else, it was nice to know that Chris took the time to counsel me and help me make this decision to do a reverse mortgage. If Chris is the level of employees that Quontic Bank employs, then I will be recommending this bank to all my friends and family. Again, thank you Chris for being there for me through this whole thing. You are a special young man."

"George Stilianudakis was the greatest loan representative I have ever worked with. He made everything very 'clear and precise' and made a somewhat 'stressful' mortgage 'refi' very simple and easy to understand for me!! I would highly recommend Quontic Bank and George for everyone I know with mortgage needs."

"After having a tough time trying to get a mortgage, meeting Liliana Giraldo was a godsend. She went above and beyond for us. She made the process extra simple, extra caring and with a personal touch that not everyone has. Her dedication throughout the process was outstanding. Even though this is not our first experience getting a home loan, it was definitely my first experience with care and love. Thanks a million to Liliana Giraldo. We are extremely happy."

"Great local bank. Always greeted with a smile and everyone knows each other on a first name basis. Very accommodating and knowledgeable on all financial matters. Couldn't recommend Quontic Bank more highly. As a small business owner, it's great to be able to get your questions answered immediately from the branch manager Ara, who does a great job."

"Our business chose Quontic Bank due to both its community ties to Astoria and its major philanthropic support to communities in need. Romano's Famous Pizza is a strong believer in the strength of meaningful relationships and we are happy to say that Quontic Bank and Romano's share a deep bond. We especially like Quontic Bank because we work together with the same person on a daily basis. Lynda Bernouy has been wonderful and she is part of the reason we are with Quontic Bank."

"I started banking with Quontic Bank when I had one food cart at the corner of Broadway and 30th Street. From there, I grew one food cart into another until I opened a brick-and-mortar location. Today we are the best falafel and shawarma in town. I picked Quontic Bank because there, you’re not just a number; you’re family. You walk in and they know you by name. And it’s not like that at other banks. I know. Quontic Bank really supports you as a small business owner and helps you grow. Quontic Bank gives you a chance when the big banks won’t."

"Astoria branch manager Ara is a sweetheart. Teller Mary Castro is a sweetheart."

"I would highly recommend Vasiliki Athanasopoulos for her professionalism, organizational skills and excellent communication. I recently worked with her as a buyer's agent and was notified at each step along the way. It was refreshing after past deals working with unorganized people. Working with Vasiliki was both a pleasure and stress-free experience. Thank you!"

"This is to praise and to congratulate Megan H. on the wonderful job she did with my and my wife's recent reverse mortgage. She not only was always available to answer any questions we had but sometimes even anticipated questions. Without her, we definitely would still be looking for a bank to help us with our reverse mortgage."

"Vasiliki Athanasopoulos has gone above and beyond in helping me with the mortgage process. She kept me on track with documents. She was kind of a mortgage coach. Very friendly and always available. A pleasure to work with."

"I need a loan for my first house. My agent gave me a few mortgage banker contacts. I called all the contacts and I feel that Mr. Abdul Rehman is a very nice and professional person. He asked my situation and some documents from me at first. He confirmed me that I can get a loan with a day after evaluate my profile. I am satisfied with the efficiency. He invited me to his office for further discussion. He immediately answered my questions and patiently explained the mortgage concept that I don't understand when I visited the office. He is very responsive in the whole process. I remember I texted him one time asking if he can call me and he returned my call very soon. That was at midnight! Finally, I got my mortgage approved. I even got a very low interest rate. This couldn't be done without Mr. Abdul's work. Overall, I am very satisfied with the mortgage process. I would definitely recommend Quontic Bank and Mr. Abdul Rehman."

"I had a mortgage [in the] commercial category. It went very smooth back in 2011. I am very pleased with customer [service] I received in Quontic Bank. I thank this bank and all the people in this bank. They are courteous and very helpful. I would refer people to this bank, especially for mortgages. It's very hard to get commercial loans, but the loan officer was very helpful and made it easier than other companies that I had dealt with. They made it easier in every way they were able to and gave me simple instructions. And tellers, customer service and the manager, they were very helpful when I was in a wheelchair."

"Looking back at my home purchase experience, I can only imagine how much more difficult obtaining a mortgage would have been if not for Kimberly's help. I first started out with my credit union and was warned by my real estate agent that the process would be more difficult if I take that route. He was right. Kimberly was always available beyond 9-5 to answer any questions myself, my agent or even the selling agent may have. In fact, as a 5 percent down buyer, I credit Kimberly for making the deal with my current house possible. She informed the selling agent that all my information was accurate and verified and reassured her that the loan would be approved. This is not something that would have been possible with a credit union's limited accessibility. I found Kimberly's personable nature to be exceptional and would feel comfortable recommending her to anyone I know."

"Abdul Rehman is very professional. It never happened that he did not receive my call. One thing I like about him: you tell him something and you don't need to repeat it and remind him. He knows his job!"

By Moiz and Rukhasana Virani. Date: 1/12/17

"I was fortunate and blessed to be introduced to Abdul Rehman when going through the process of applying for our mortgage to buy our new home. He was very professional and efficient working with my son and I diligently in every process to make our experience as a first-time buyer a smooth one. It was very nerve-racking, but he did everything in his power to ease my nervousness. I can't thank him enough for communicating with us in every step of the way until the end; even checking up on us after we moved into the house. With service like this, there is no question about recommending him to family and friends. Thank you!"

By Patty Harricharan. Date: 1/6/17

"This is the second loan that I got with the support of Abdul Rehman. He is very professional and always does his best to help me in the whole mortgage process. Furthermore, when I just got my first loan with him, he made one of my dreams come true, which was to get a loan to purchase my first house. Hence, I trust in him and that's the reason I decided to use his service to get another loan to purchase my second house. In fact, Abdul is not just an excellent professional, but he is also a great human being."

"When we began our search for the perfect home, it was easy. Finding the right loan officer was not; that is until we met Vasiliki. She made the process quick, easy and painless, but most importantly, Vasiliki put us first; our needs mattered; what we wanted mattered. Best of all, V explained everything so we could understand the entire process and be certain of our choices. She facilitated our dreams into becoming a reality. We are forever grateful to V and the personal attention she provided to us. Purchasing our dream home would not have been possible if it weren't for V's guidance. Thanks, V, for everything!"

"Angel Cartagena was exceptional. As a first-time homebuyer he guided me through this home mortgage process. He was always available for any questions and very responsive to our needs. I would like to say without a doubt that Angel was the key to the purchase of my new home. He worked hard for me and my family. People like Angel are hard to find. My family and I were extremely lucky to have him on our side. The experience was as positive as it possibly could have been."

"Liliana Giraldo has helped me with the process of getting a mortgage to buy a new house when no one was willing to and now we recently refinanced and she helped lower my interest rate.

By Natasha Caicedo. Date: 11/23/16

"Words cannot explain how grateful I am to have met Vasiliki. I was lost and had no clue of how to find a trustworthy loan officer until I sat down with Vasiliki. She is honest, trustworthy, qualified and most of all, patient. She went out of her way to meet my needs, answering all my questions and always being available for me whether via phone, fax or email. I would not have had the same experience with any other loan officer and I am so pleased I had her on my side. I am so thankful and impressed with her swift services. Highly qualified and recommended!"

"My name is Mike Rosati and I am a retired United States Marine. I served just over eight and a half years in the United States Marine Corps and had the greatest honor of serving beside some of America’s finest special operations men, as a team member within the very seldom publicized, Marine Force Reconnaissance Company./p>

During my combat tour of duty in Iraq in 2004-2005, I was wounded. In 2006, I was formally retired from my military career due to physical injuries sustained in combat. Like many Veterans, I did not have much direction anymore. While undergoing healing, both emotionally and physically, it took me many years to rediscover myself and find my own personal worth again.

In 2011 my wife Cristina and I relocated back to New York from where we were living in Florida. During those initial months back, I decided to take a huge calculated risk and go to school and follow my life long dreams of being in medicine. Over the next four years, we decided that we should start the arduous process of trying to own our own home to raise our family. As a full-time student, being retired from the military, I found it to be very difficult to find a financial institution that would take the time and effort to work with us.

It was at this time that I contacted my high school buddy, Mike Bocelli. Over those next several months, Mike worked day in and day out along side of the Quontic Bank team to help us achieve our dream, of finally having the American dream and owning our own home.

It is to you folks, in which I am truly grateful. To my friend Mike, who never quit and did everything within his ability help us out. We have a saying within our creed as Reconnaissance Marines: “To quit is to surrender, to give up is to fail…sacrificing personal comforts…to overcome and adapt and to do whatever it takes to complete the mission.” It is there, in those words, that I personally thank all of you Quontic Bank team, which never quit and believed in honor and perseverance.

In closing, on behalf of my grateful family, and myself, I salute each and every one of you that made this outcome possible. Veterans like myself contribute to the freedoms that as Americans, we enjoy. However, all of you contributed to a freedom for my family; the freedom to have a place that we can call home."

As a long time customer George Stilianudakis has been great throughout the process. Always on top of the situation and a great facilitator. I highly recommend him," said Quontic Bank mortgage customer Angelo Chantly.

"I'm looking forward to continue working with Quontic Bank and with Andrew Fuchs in particular. I highly recommend him!!" said Dani Kates, a Quontic Bank mortgage customer.

"We especially like Quontic Bank because we work together with the same person on a daily basis," said Demetrios Kokkiasmenos, co-owner of Romano's Famous Pizza and a Quontic Bank business lending customer.
